Great article about Christensen, author throws shade all over Rhule’s face about arm length

I think the team needs a prototype C if anything. You can't go too wrong building from the inside out, and it has been a problem for a few years. Kalil wasn't HOF but he mostly was never a problem, always helped the guys next to him and the QB too.

SMH, man people are ready to crown him @MHS831 . He’s been OK but not being able to pick up blitzes after his guy stunts is a big problem. It cost us 1/3 of the points NO scored because a free run at the QB that should have been picked up is the most likely to cause a fumble.

Maybe he can get better but that’s why tackles are so important, especially on the blind side. If a rusher comes up the middle it’s bad but the QB can see it and at least react. The tackles screwing up is what typically creates the fumbles.

It’s funny that the article keeps mentioning being seen as a guard even though he’s right now playing LT for us. Seems like he’s getting an opportunity. I just hope we don’t pass on a much more talented LT on the hope that next time he’ll actually react quicker to the blitz since he didn’t even get his 🦖 arms out to impede the blitzer. As said above, solid IOL help is available day 2 of every draft. Remember our buddy Hurney didn’t draft a single IOL from 2018 to 2020 after letting Norwell walk, trading Turner and watching Ryan retire. That’s the reason why our interior is a steaming pile of poo.

🔨 the nail on the head with this statement. Hurney and Gettleman’s overall failures to replenish talent on the OL is the biggest reason for the crapshow we’re witnessing now.

Umm, I’m putting that squarely on Hurney. Gettleman for all his faults, added 3 OL to Ryan who were all-pro or pro bowl (Turner, Williams and Norwell) and also added Moton. That’s four solid starting OL in 5 drafts.

Hurney saw 3 of those 4 plus Ryan leave in 2018/2019 and after they left he added Little and Daley, i.e. 0 solid starting OL via the draft.

As faulty as DG was, comparing his OL draft results to Hurney isn’t even close. Hurney left the OL in way worse shape.

You’re right bugs. The man truly loved the “hogmollies”. My bad!

Hurney couldn’t evaluate OL if his life depended on it. His best choice on OL was Otah and he wasn’t in the league too long.

    • No one knows who the jags or jets are going to pick. Each have been link to about 10 different players and need each one of them.  
    • My concern with Walker is that he's small, he's not a true edge but he's also not a MLB either.  He's a tweener that very well could turn him into a great player, but I just don't love the idea of taking a player like that, with one season of collegiate production, at #8. If he's not a true edge rusher and he's sure as hell not a Kuechly, taking him at 8 just doesn't make sense to me, no matter how much you like the person/player.  Just feels like he's Chinn situation all over again, except not a S/LB hybrid, but a LB/DE hybrid this time. He seems like a 3-4 OLB who will split his time rushing the passer and dropping back, which sure, while that can be a valuable player to have, I'd rather be taking someone with more of a defined position regardless of base alignment. I don't think we're going to stick with Evero for the long term, whether he leaves on his own or we go a different way.  And once that happens, if/when we move back to a 4-3, a player like Walker is going to struggle even more as he really won't be a great fit for any specific position in that alignment as he's not a 4-3 OLB and he's not big enough to be a full time DE in that alignment either.
